What is a dead in golf?
1. Golf shot with no spin. 2. Putt that has no chance of going in.
Definition
1. A golf shot with no spin, resulting in a ball that rolls significantly after landing without backspin to check its progress. 2. A putt that has no chance of going in the hole due to poor line or speed. Understanding both meanings helps golfers with shot selection and putting strategy. Dead shots often occur from certain lies or with specific club selections that reduce spin rates. Dead putts typically result from poor green reading or execution and provide learning opportunities for future putts. Recognizing dead shots helps golfers adjust their expectations and strategy.
